pic_027 The priest then turns towards the bride and the groom, and reads from — presumably — the scripture. But seeing how the couple and the witnesses are laughing, you have to wonder if he threw in some jokes.

My sister’s wedding took place in the Orthodox church of Our Lady of the Sign in Vilnius, Lithuania, in May of 2006.

This picture was taken by one of the groom’s friends, whose name I unfortunately don’t know.
